Description this one is dedicated to erainey.. just because it feels like something he would shoot..

kept in coulour because i think it adds.

here is an example of a shot that i think i nailed. basically, i came across these two and just because the setting and the subjects were so great, i knew i had to get a shot...

the trouble is that us three were literally the only people around, so me stealing a shot of them without knowing is virtually impossible. i knew i'd have to ask them. i knew i'd have to ask them without getting them to change their appearances for me. i got just the shot i wanted. i think i took abother frame with my yashica t4 but on a roll that hasnt yet been developed.

so here it is. the fun forest couple. an interesting two people.

the end. thoughts?

Powerful and fun and touching at the same time. A sort of memories, that consist the past, the present. Their age strike a strong contrast to the beautiful coloured surrounding.

Clap clap~!

I used to ask.
Now I don't. Lost so many good shots under a negative answer. I prefer the screams...What's done cannot be undone.
Excellent pic.

I like how their age contrasts with the youthful, modern surroundings. its just odd and immediately interesting. awsome to include 'fun forest' too, has that edge of wackyness to their personalities and even more abstract to the composition. nice one

Nailed it is really the best way to describe it.
I don't think you lost anything by asking them for a picture.
I actually quite like the "poses" they have chosen for you in this. And somehow those sunglass attachments looking like Mickey Mouse ears add beautifully to the theme park thing in this. Great job. I look forward to the other shot, too.

Dunuo-Coeptus [2006-11-22 10:08:53 +0000 UTC]

I dig it. The canes and the vertical fence makes a really sort of "cohesive"(pretentious??) composition. Ya know, rule of thirds and such.
